About This Quote

Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT."Albert: "Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them." Albert Einstein is a famous physicist who did a lot of work in the field of physics. In his time he was considered among the most intelligent people in history. However, Albert's family had a very bad habit of getting him drunk on a regular basis.

The problem was that Albert didn't find it funny at all. He found it to be a very serious issue and something that ruined his life. This quote is saying that while there are better things in life than alcohol, alcohol can make up for this by giving us a sense of happiness when we don't have any other form of satisfaction whatsoever.
